After being reborn, he was doted on by his scumbag brother.

Lin Qingyao smiled and said: "Okay, let's talk about business. I only told my eldest sister about your return this time, for fear that she would worry about Crown Prince Gu, and the others haven't told me yet. What's your plan here, Ning'er? Over there, do you want to tell her?"

Lin Qingyao has been thinking about this matter, although now in order not to alert others, the fewer people know about it, the better.

But Xiao Qingning is also one of the people who cares about Jamel Xiao the most after all. If she doesn’t tell her, she will definitely be sad.

"We were still talking about this matter just now, and we planned not to tell her for the time being. Fourth brother has many spies in the palace, especially Ning'er. He knows that we have a good relationship and will definitely keep an eye on Ning'er. Besides, Ning'er usually keeps an eye on her. There are many opportunities to come into contact with him, and it is inevitable that his flaws will be exposed.”

Lin Qingyao nodded when he heard this, "Yes, you are still injured and can't show your face. If Xiao Jingyi knows that you are still alive, he will definitely attack you again. This is really unsafe. And I guess Xiao Jingyi will go to Ning'er. Test her reaction, if you are not careful, you will fall short."

"That's right, so after much deliberation, we decided to hide it from her first. Judging from my current physical condition, it shouldn't take long to recover, and she won't be sad for too long. By then Ning'er With the Queen Mother, please take care of me more, I'm worried that the Queen Mother won't be able to bear such stimulation."

Lin Qingyao held Jamel Xiao's hand and said softly: "I know, don't worry, I will take good care of them. You are awake now, and I can rest assured. Yun Qi, Yunfei and the others are coming back soon, I still don't have to worry about them these days. It's better to come here so as not to be discovered. Take care of yourself and let Feiying inform me if anything happens."

Jamel Xiao smiled and nodded, "Okay, you don't have to worry about me. On the other hand, you still have to interact with Fourth Brother for the time being, so be careful."

"I know, don't worry. I'm looking forward to the day when we can stand together openly, it's coming soon."

The next day, just after noon, a guard came from the palace and sent a message to Lin Qingyao, saying that Xiao Qingning asked her to come over quickly.

Lin Qingyao vaguely felt that Yun Qiyunfei should have returned to the palace to recover. Xiao Qingning was afraid that she had heard about the disappearance of Jamel Xiao and Gu Jing'an, so she was anxious to let her go.

Lin Qingyao arrived at Ningxiang Hall as quickly as possible, and Xiao Qingning was already waiting for her at the door.

As soon as Xiao Qingning saw Lin Qingyao, she pulled her in and said anxiously: "Yao'er, you're here, I'm going to die of anxiety."

"What happened? As soon as I heard what the guard said, I felt it was an emergency and rushed over as quickly as possible."

Xiao Qingning was so anxious that she almost cried, "The team that went to Qinan is back, but..."

Lin Qingyao knew that her guess was right as soon as she heard it, but she could only pretend to know nothing at this time.

"They're back? Isn't that a good thing?"

Xiao Qingning didn't know where to start when she was anxious, so she calmed down and tried her best to calm down.

"Listen to me, the others are back, but my fifth brother and Gu Shizi are not back. It is said that the fifth brother was injured on the way back, and Gu Shizi said he was taking him to heal, but the whereabouts of both of them are unknown. .”

Lin Qingyao pretended to be surprised: "What? How could this happen?"

Xiao Qingning observed Lin Qingyao's face and said cautiously: "I also heard that Fifth Brother was poisoned and his life or death is uncertain. I don't know if he..."

Before Xiao Qingning could finish speaking, Lin Qingyao stopped her, "No, don't think so wildly. Sometimes no news is good news. If you want to see someone alive or dead, we will see the corpse. Before there is definite evidence, we Think on the bright side.”

Lin Qingyao tried her best to guide him in a good direction, trying to make Xiao Qingning less worried.

Xiao Qingning was in a panic just now, but after hearing Lin Qingyao's words, she felt it made sense, and immediately felt much calmer.

"Yao'er, you're right. We can't scare ourselves. They will all be fine. It's just that Fifth Brother's injury needs time to recover, so it was delayed for some time. He will come back when he recovers."

Seeing that Xiao Qingning finally thought in a good direction, Lin Qingyao breathed a sigh of relief and silently apologized to Xiao Qingning in her heart.

In this situation, we can only hide it from her for now.

"Yes, that must be the case. Let's not worry first and wait patiently."

Xiao Qingning nodded when she heard this. With Lin Qingyao by her side, she felt much more at ease.

"Yao'er, you said it's all right, why were Fifth Brother and the others assassinated? Who wanted to harm him?"

Lin Qingyao didn't want to hide this from Xiao Qingning. After all, she was so close to Xiao Jingyi and needed to be on guard against him at all times.

"Although I don't know the specific situation very well, this matter must be related to Xiao Jingyi. Who else besides him would hate your fifth brother so much and want to commit such a murderous attack?"

It wasn't that Xiao Qingning had never suspected Jamel Xiao at all, but she didn't expect that he already hated Jamel Xiao to such an extent.

"Is it really the fourth brother? You have already avoided suspicion, but why is he still worried? He must get rid of the fifth brother?"

Lin Qingyao snorted coldly, "He will get rid of anyone who might prevent him from ascending to the throne. Even if there is only a small chance, he will not allow it to happen. In fact, I want to know if this matter has anything to do with him. It's very simple, if it was really him who did it, he would come and tell you about it soon."

Xiao Qingning was puzzled: "Why did he tell me?"

"Firstly, telling you this will make you uncomfortable, so he will naturally be happy to see it happen. Secondly, he wants to test it to see if your fifth brother is really missing, so that he can decide what to do next."

After hearing what Lin Qingyao said, Xiao Qingning was so angry that she slammed the table.

"It's too much. This is just like a weasel giving New Year greetings to a chicken. How can a person be so bad? This throne is not his turn. He overestimated his capabilities and wanted to compete with the prince brother. In the end, he felt that other people were blocking him. road."

Lin Qingyao comforted him: "Ning'er, calm down. This is the kind of person he is. The person you knew before was all pretended by him. If he really comes to see you, you must keep calm and pretend you haven't heard anything at all. The way this is going. Since he wants to see a joke, then you should cooperate with him and worry about your fifth brother showing it to him just like you did just now."

Xiao Qingning nodded when he heard this, "Actually, I didn't act for him. I was still a little uneasy. Although I tried my best to think in the best place, it was a lie to say that I wasn't worried about Fifth Brother. I don't know how he is doing now. ”

At this moment, Lin Qingyao felt that their decision not to tell Xiao Qingning the truth was right. She could act in front of Xiao Jingyi no matter what she wanted, but this time it was about the people closest to her, and it was really difficult not to reveal the truth.
